Global Environmental Issues

The character, the motion and the proportion of environment-induced migration have radically changed in recent years. Environment-induced migration is an increasingly recognized fact and has become one of the main challenges of the 21st century, and needs to be focused on to ensure sustainable growth. This new stance is due to the changing character of environmental degradation. Global environmental issues, including climate change, loss of biodiversity, river and oceanic contamination, land degradation, drought, and the destruction of rainforests, are progressively stressing the earth’s ecosystems. Among these issues, climate change is one of the most severe threats. Climate change alone does not directly induce people to move but it generates harmful environmental effects and worsens present vulnerabilities. The current study aims to provide cornerstone links between the effects of climate change, migration decisions, displacement risk and conflicts in the example of Afghanistan, as a country that is extremely affected by both climate change and conflicts, and outline priority policy focuses to mitigate the current situation in the country.

Albert G. Hu of National University of Singapore reviews, “Private Rights and Public Problems: The Global Economics of Intellectual Property in the 21st Century” by Keith E. Maskus. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: “Presents an economic perspective on intellectual property rights and their relationship to global issues. Discusses the big stakes in selling knowledge; the big global upgrade—is it working?; global governance; regulating a stressed system; intellectual property rights and global policy challenges; and revitalizing a tired system. Maskus is Research Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Professor of Economics and Associate Dean for Social Sciences at the University of Colorado at Boulder, a fellow at the Kiel Institute for World Economics, and an adjunct professor at the University of Adelaide.”
